What to create microcontroller application without writing any code? Keep reading… Let’s create a project. It would be again Blinking LED demo. Open MPLAB X IDE, and go to File -> New Project. – Microchip[…]

Let’s create simple calculator using microcontroller. I will be using Microchip PIC16F690, LCD Display (1602A-1), and “4×4 Universal 16 Key Keypad For Arduino”. We will start with creating simulation with Proteus and then create real[…]

I would recommend reading parts I and II first. Microchip had recently released set of development boards which really helped to ease microcontroller development – Curiosity Boards. I got this one. Let’s create our first[…]

Now let’s use real microprocessor. For this project we will need microprocessor, programmer and scheme with LED which we used in Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects. Also prerequisite is that you completed project in part[…]

And now let’s go to the lowest level – microcontrollers. That’s what drives every electronic device around you. I found this one in my drawer: PIC16F690. You can buy ‘raw’ device or buy experimentation board,[…]
